New york city: no stalgia for the old neighborhood.life is made up of the little things: some unimportant memories from childhood that, in fact, shaped your character. i third avenue in midtown manhattan during the 1950s-60s where family life was centered around old of flats and small stores. third avenue was my old neighborhood and it had character. it was with working families of italian, german and irish origin. we shopped together with all those people and their kids played together. the third avenue influenced the way our family lived. i absorbed the street life. it gave me an that i could not have receive in any other place. to me it was home.in a recent walk around third avenue my eyes signs of the old neighborhood but couldn’t find any. if i hadn’t been born here and someone described the area, it would be to believe. it wasn’t because a few buildings had changed – everything had changed. the transformation began in the late 1950s and 60s when corporation replaced the old neighborhood. in the early 1960s, the houses were pulled down. families were forced to the small stores went out of business and the old neighborhood was changed forever. and now there is a lack of character in the transformed neighborhood.1 1) brought up 2) grew up 3) went up 4) got up2 1) blocks 2) houses 3) groups 4) sets3 1) covered 2)held 3) loaded 4) filled4 1)knowledge 2)information 3) education 4) training5 1)looked after 2)looked for 3)looked through 4)looked at6 1) hard 2) rough 3) strange 4) heavy7 1)stay out 2)take out 3)move out 4) go out
